Hi Joe,

I am using Jenkins slave and trying to run the scripts in a remote machine. I am having issue in executing the SendKeys or DeviceReplay steps (to enter data in a WebElement). There are executing only when i am logged into the Remote. Is there any other alternative?

Thanks,
Sudharshana

In reply to pooja. Does it work if you use the ASCII code Chr(43) for the + sign? For more info on how to use the Chr() in QTP check out my ASCII CHR QTP POST

Hi,
I am using following command :-
set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.SendKeys “{ENTER}”
WshShell.SendKeys “+:techstack”
I observed it is not writing ‘+’ symbol, the data written by script is “:techstack” instead of “+:techstack”
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Pooja

Please HELP!!!!!
I’ve been using in IE8 Grid a .fireevent “ondblclick” and a .set methods to enter data in a grid.
A IE had a lot of isues in many ways, we’ve migrated to Firefox 12.
Trying to call the same funtion, neither the .fireevent and .Set methods worked.

Have tried several ways to set the information using:

“set mySendKey = CreateObject(“WScript.shell”)
var1 = “Datatable (“parameter1”, “global”)
mySendKeys.SendKeys (var1)”
And
“myDeviceReplay.SendString var1”
without any success.
In both cases the var1 is entered VERY FAST! and only remains on the object the last 3 letters of such variable.
have tried one by one on a loop with “wait 1”

Please help!!!!!

Ragards and thank you!

Alfonso

In reply to Manu Sharma. I'm not sure when you spy on the control after pressing an Alt key is there any property that changes? If so you can check for that property in your test to confirm that the Alt occurred. I don't know if there is an ASCII character you could look for that represents an underline character. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Hi Joe,

Is it possible to check which mnemonic is underlined after pressing the “Alt” key? In one of our scenarios, we need to verify whether character “b” is underlined when we press “Alt” key for a checkbox control. Any idea?
